Google: Please let us change the temperature and other settings of Gemini through the gemini TUI.
It's temperature is WAY too hot, probably a 1 or high .9 for most engineering purposes, and is currently very untrustworthy compared to codex or opus. It makes current enterprise testers jumping through dialectical hoops to make it usable in real world scenarios. Currently users can start a session on a medium sized repo, give a solid guardrail that the model is not to make code changes, and within 2 prompts the model will start refactoring things while asking architecture questions. I figured you would do this sooner when I started using the ultra plan as a possible alternative to Anthropic, but it's still something that we can't modify. This is unacceptable for enterprise engineering. Thank you.
